According to the report of Hong Kong Wen Wei Po, logistic parties of US and Mexico made an introduction of new Sino-US logistic route in Guangzhou. Cargo¹ in China, especially in Zhu Jiang Delta² Region, gains the new transport channel. If many manufacturers in Zhu Jiang Delta Region intend to export product to US, they could first go to Mexico Lazaro Cardenas Port by sea and discharging at Heji Huangpu port in Mexico, then transship to American Saint Antonio port by railway for custom declaration, finally move into the market place. Comparing with the traditional logistic channel, this new route could save 4-5 days for export enterprises; the cost of each container could save at least $100.

　　“Sino-US Logistics and Transport Cooperation Development Fair”, organized by the American Chamber³ of Commerce in Guangdong, is held separately in Guangzhou and Shenzhen days before. The person in charge of the Bureau of Saint Antonio Port says, the volume of Chinese container cargo delivers to US keep multiplying in resent years. Since the throughput of the ports of west pacific coast in US cannot meet the demand of increasingly cargo disposing quantity, which leads to the crowed ports. In addition, causes of the frequent strikes carried out by the dockers, the breakdown⁴ of services of the ports in the west coast often occurs.

　　The direct results of the factors above are: increases the extra transport time; unfavorable to both the capital turnover⁵ of the manufacturers and the rapid supply of the market; meanwhile lowers efficiency and increases risk. According to estimation, the transport time for Chinese commodity deliver to US increased two weeks in the last 3 years. The traditional route for cargo delivers to the west coast of US via Long Beach of Los Angeles and San Francisco restrains the trading development.

　　In dealing⁶ with such situation, the US and Mexico introduce a new transport route to China. Chinese cargo could be transported to Lazaro Cardenas Port in Mexico by sea in the form of container, and then the container will be disposed by Heji Huangpu Port which the head office located in Hong Kong, after that transshipped to US by the railway of south Kansas in Mexico. The cargo will be declared to the custom in Saint Antonio, Texas, US and finally delivers into the sales section.

　　The person in charge of the Bureau of Saint Antonio Port says, since the new route remits⁷ the port administering tax and the ships could move on without stop in Mexico ports, comparing with the traditional logistic route, it saves almost 5 days time and the transport cost of each container decreases $100.

　　However, it is obvious that some logistic enterprises are not familiar with the new route. Danzas ZF Freight Agency Co.,Ltd, the sub-company of DHL, says the cargo generally ships for 15 days at fast and 18 days at slowest from Yantian port to Los Angeles, US by sea and the freight is $2,300 per standard container. Mr. Huang expresses, he does not know about the new route while the current cargo shipment to US by sea is still via the traditional route.

　　General Manager of VIGOSS Guangying Clothes Co., Ltd says the clothes of their company are all shipped to US by sea, takes about 11 days. He was interested in the new route and says he’d like to try the new route if it is more rapid and cheaper
